.SH NAME
glutStrokeWidth returns the width of a stroke character,
glutStrokeLength returns the length of a stroke font string.
.SH SYNTAX
.nf
.LP
int glutStrokeWidth(void *font, int character);
int glutStrokeLength(void *font, const unsigned char *string);
.fi
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIfont\fP 1i
Stroke font to use. 
For valid values, see the
glutStrokeWidth description.
.IP \fIcharacter\fP 1i
Character to return width of (not confined to 8 bits). 
.IP \fIstring\fP 1i
Text string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.
.SH DESCRIPTION
glutStrokeWidth returns the width in modeling units of a stroke character in a
supported stroke font. While the width of characters in a font may vary
(though fixed width fonts do not vary), the maximum height
characteristics of a particular font are fixed. 

glutStrokeLength returns the length in modeling units of a string (8-bit
characters).  This length is equivalent to summing all the widths
returned by glutStrokeWidth for each character in the string.
